Well, i am not American to begin with but i am lucky (or wise enough to choose) to study in Iowa State U because Iowa as it turns out is a swing state. Oh you should have seen how those president wannabes and their lackeys came pouring here. But anyway, Micheal Moore came last night (for $4000, the will be a republican lackey next week, Ann Coulter, for $11000, see the difference?) and i, with a mixture of democrats and republicans friends went to watch him. When asked why i wanted to tag along, i answered, fairly and orderly, "i cannot see william hung in person"

So, Micheal Moore was late, 90 mins! Many people left and we got to sit closer. This was held in our basketball arena. While we were waiting for his late arrival, don't know when people started lining up infront of the camera to show their T-shirts with slogan in the big screen. One that i like a lot was a picture of Bush senior and Bush junior with the title "dumb and dumber".

Then finally, Micheal Moore arrived He opened the 'show' (if i may) with your typical late night talk show republican bashing jokes. Throw in some funny "vote Bush ad", and recited the story the little kid was reading while Bush was informed that America was underattack on sep 11, titled "My Pet Goat".

Well, as i said, i am not an American to being with, so i went there for the free show. Apart from repeating what he said in his film, he had some words exchanges with Nader supporters, which was new to me. he said, and i quote, "the stakes are too high". For once, i thought this is really good.

"i cannot see william hung in person"What? <confused>

he said, and i quote, "the stakes are too high". For once, i thought this is really good.What? <still confused>

First confusion - william hung is a subcomedian comedian. eh... you know the kind of people who talks funny, physically funny not funny funny. To me, a recording of Hitler's speech is comedy, regardless of the content.

second confusion - Iowa might just pull a Florida this year, for both Repbulican and Democrats, Nader's supporters might cost them the state, which might cost them the presidency. The high stakes were referring especially to the war.
